what we do
The goal of Simple Interactions is to support child- and youth-serving adults in developing skills that will encourage more developmental interactions with the children and youth in their care. The SI approach is designed to be practical and participatory.
Using basic video cameras, we capture very short video clips of adults engaged in positive developmental interactions with children. We then share the clips in the context of short workshops. These clips become conversation starters for discussing effective interaction strategies. By its very nature, SI training will be unique to each site and setting. Our long-term goal is to empower teachers, afterschool staff, childcare workers, etc., to continue this professional development strategy independently.
